Little Silver Fox Reviews

A beautiful little get away with stunning views. The welcome basket was a lovely welcome with lots of tasty treats. Hot tub was a great way to unwind after a busy day exploring Devon.
This is a return visit for us, and is still as we remember it from 5 years ago. Beautiful settings, fantastic accommodation, with the benefit of a private hot tub. Appreciated added extras. Didnt want to leave. Will return again at some point, most definitely. The hosts were very approachable, and very responsive. Thankyou so much
Giulia
We had a really lovely stay! Exactly what we needed, super relaxing and peaceful. The hut is also private and just really a beautiful stay.
Amazing property with everything you would need for a break away from it all to relax
Claire
Excellent break away. So relaxing!! Hut was so cute and cosy. Will return for sure.
Ronald
We believe we were the first renters of the Little Silver Fox in February 2019 and are pleased to say it was as good now as it was back then. A most enjoyable break in a peaceful environment.
Very nice to meet peter. The shepherd hut was wonderful.the views were amazing and the welcome pack was a bonus.many thanks.
We absolutely loved this trip, they have done a great job with the shepherds hut and surrounding area and the golf caddie was an added bonus which just gave our trip that additional special touch! Peter did a great job of sending all the details prior to us arriving so we were well prepared as well as meeting us on the day of arrival to say hello. The hut was well equipped and everything worked as it should, we had no problems with anything. The bed was also very comfy! It is such a tranquil place and very relaxing, we brought a little sunshine along with us too so we could enjoy the view and also do a bit of train spotting. The hot tub was great, it did take a little while to heat on the first night so unable to use it but once heated we couldnt stay out of it. We went to the Rising Sun down the road for dinner which was lovely hot food and friendly staff, they also do takeaway woodfire pizza which you can bring back to the shepherds hut so you can enjoy the view while eating dinner which was fab! We loved the wood burner within the hut, it created some great heat which allowed us to feel very comfortable especially when the air outside was cold, they leave you everything you need to do this and extra within the log store with an honesty box if you would like some more. Overall, it was such a great trip to relax and only a short drive away from some fantastic beaches, we will definitely be back and recommend to family and friends.
It was all perfect
Lianne
A beautiful, idyllic little hideaway with beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The little extras of the use of a golf buggy and a lovely hamper on arrival makes it a little more personal. Hot tub was clean and maintained well. We liked the fact that you didnt even need to wear a swim suit
Lovely place to stay. So peaceful & quiet with amazing views. Lots of places to explore nearby. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back to stay again!
Joseph
We loved Little Silver Fox!
Fantastic views over the valley, incredibly peaceful and quiet and also very private despite there being 3 other huts nearby. Hot tub was a fantastic addition that just made the place special. Great owners, superb welcome pack and all the info you needed was sent in advance. Oh, and getting to and from the hut everyday using the golf buddy was immense fun.
Ronald
Our stay was absolutely marvelous! Very nice cottage with splendid view and a lot of privacy
This was an idyllic place, peaceful, beautiful scenery, the hut had everything we needed. Have you ever been to a place where you dont want to leave, well this is it! We are looking to book again.
Jacqui
We had a fantastic time at Little Silver Fox, It's a lovely site for couples to get away to relax. P When you arrive your greated by Peter & Lisa who are a friendly and easy going couple. You go by golf buggy to your accommodation. Waiting there is a well stocked welcome basket with fresh homemade bread. The hut was spotless and very comfortable, and let's not forget the hot tub,the highlight of every evening with a cool glass of wine ,Magical. We will definitely be returning in the future. Jacqui & Steve.
Our seconds stay at Fox. What a wonderful adventure. Hosts are wonderful, even helped us with some tasty local recommendations. Soaking in the tub most evenings after a day of walking or doing nothing, starring into the stars and listening to the evening chorus of wildlife.

This is a little slice of heaven the setting is beautiful and if you want to relax then this is a perfect place to do so. It was nice to be welcomed by the host and the basket of goodies was a lovely touch in the hut. The hot tub was perfect and we enjoyed most evenings watching the stars with the chiminea keeping us warm. Highly recommend a stay here.

This is an amazing getaway for a couple in need of a break. Lovely little romantic hut with a wonderful view, relaxing and private hot tub, the little golf cart just adds a bit of fun to it all. Just perfection.
Most adorable shepherds hut ever! Our stay was amazing and the thought process behind the property was just lovely. Easy to book.
Robert
Just what we needed a relaxing few days away highly recommend
Jordan
We loved our stay in the little silver fox and hope to come back and stay again soon. Cleanliness was excellent. Overall a really relaxing and enjoyable stay.
It's a lovely place and quiet and fantastic . The couple was fantastic very helpful and we will going back again
Amazing place even more beautiful then discribed location facailities hosts all fantastic will be going back
Everything about the location was perfect. So restful and quiet, and Peter & Lisa just left us to relax in peace with no intrusion whilst giving everything of service. Only downside is Sykes' email bombardment for feedback and comment I use my 'phone as an alarm clock and so it is next to the bed with the volume on. Getting woken by an email alert at 2am every other night is really not appreciated. Sykes need to programme their computer to send their spam out during office hours, not the small hours. NB Sykes is an agent not the site owneroperator. The site owners and the site are awesome!
We had a lovely warm welcome from Lisa & Peter when we arrived, We stayed in the little silver fox it was very clean & comfortable, we had everything we needed! The welcome basket was a lovely surprise, The views were Amazing it was so quite & peaceful we loved every minute and will definitely return next year .
It was the second time we stayed at the Little Silver Fox and it was as good as the first time! Highly recommended!
What was a lovely little break in Devon was massively overshadowed by the shambles that is Sykes and the way they go about their business. I booked this 2 night stay for 450 back in June, but was quickly sent a confirmation email suggesting I had booked the incorrect dates, which I most definitely did not do. After calling and emailing Sykes a number of times, no one answered, I was left in a position where I just had to book the holiday with the 'new' dates. The price rocketed to 1135 for 2 nights. As nice as this quirky little place is, it certainly isn't worth over 600 per night, as the owner was quick to agree. The owner's are nice, they got in touch and tried to help, but they also hit a brick wall when it came to asking Sykes what happened, they suggested it was me who made the wrong booking and the surge in prices is just to be expected at this time of year. It's a shambles quite frankly, don't trust them at all. You'll end up with hidden fees and charges as they try to fill their pockets, sadly I'll never ever be going with them ever again and neither should you. As someone who's mental health has been dreadful this past year, I was really looking forward to this, but all these troubles and the financial burden of it has actually set me back about 10 steps in my recovery... it is really such a shame. I will continue to try recover and try to forget all about this, but I feel it's important to help others not make the mistakes i made, in thinking I could trust these people. Adam

We had a fab couple of nights!
